By all means, point to an official statement made by Nintendo on their stance about LGBTQ+. Bonus points if it was already posted in this thread and I missed it.

This is what I could find on the matter. Essentially:
- The Tomodachi Life thing was a glitch
- Nintendo said that it wouldn't be fixing the glitch (by making gay marriage possible without it) but would be developing the 'next' game in the series to have homosexual relationships from the ground up
- Miitopia (which is essentially the next game in the 'Mii' series) allows any characters no matter the gender to become 'soul mates' with each other (with love hearts in their eyes and everything), there's no explicit romance there but everyone is definitely treated equally
I doubt it's automated; if it were then the 4,000+ 'yeah' Trans Rights post would have most definitely been banned by now. This is most likely the fault of a random transphobic moderator.
